Puzzle - KeyGenme

by mindless 23rd Feb. 2008

Level: 4 - Needs special knowledge
Platform: Windows
Language: C/C++


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is my first crackme so I apologize in case you find it boring, specially hard or specially easy.
Any comments will be much appreciated.

The key is to make a working KeyGen for any username given. It's got some crypto inside and no
anti-debugging protection; hope you find this protection scheme interesting. I'm looking forward for
the feedback since this is my very first attempt of making such things.

Note: I've found some problems running it under Vista and I will try to fix them as soon as possible.

Thank you !

Thanks ForFun for the solution. You're right that I've put more into the thread stuff than in the algo itslef.

However I challenge everyone to try what it would really be a level 4 in my opinion:

Patch the binary so that it always prints the GoodBoy string for any username/password.
